Thanksgiving Leftovers #SundaySupper - Turkey & Mushroom Risotto

I think most of us will agree that LEFTOVERS are the best part of Thanksgiving Dinner. After all the hustle and bustle and preparation of the feast, we can all sit back now and enjoy all the delicious sides, sandwiches and gravy that are a cinch to put together.

This week Isabel of Family Foodie and #SundaySupper have all the recipes you need to use leftovers! Nicole from Daily Dish Recipes has pitched in this week as hostess and has put together our great line-up for this week!

Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add olive oil. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic and saute until mushrooms are tender and the juices evaporate, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice and let it toast for a few minutes. Add the wine; cook until liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add one cup of hot broth; simmer over medium-low heat until the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook until the rice is just tender and the mixture is creamy, adding more broth by cupfuls and stirring often, about 28 minutes. Stir in the peas and leftover turkey. Stir in remaining 2 Tbsp. of butter and Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and top with addition Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.

My best leftover dish is the first turkey sandwich warmed up with stuffing and gravy and cold cranberry sauce. Can't wait!

Please join on us on Twitter throughout the day during #SundaySupper on November 18. In the evening we will meet at 7pm EST for our weekly #SundaySupper live chat.

My family is obsessed with risotto, we eat a risotto several times a month, so I make this every year. Just looking at your photos is making me realize I can't wait until after Thanksgiving to have another risotto. Might have to poke around the fridge to see what kind I should make tonight.
